(Change first, then change, delete after changing, please read it again in 20 minutes)

This is not the first time Xu Zhen and Zhou Ran have met.

The further you go, the smaller the circle becomes, and the two are both popular artists, and they will inevitably meet on various occasions such as galas and award ceremonies.

However, it was just a meeting, the two had never worked together before, and there was no friendship.

At this time, the two were in the VIP lounge area of the theater, so they did not deliberately disguise.

Xu Zhen took a cursory look at Zhou Ran, and saw that he was still meticulously wearing makeup today, his half-length hair was permed into small wool curls, and he was wearing a brightly colored oversized sweatshirt and torn cropped pants, which looked quite a sense of "fashion" that he couldn't understand.

Xu Zhen silently glanced at his knees and ankles, which were completely exposed, and felt uncomfortable.

It's raining today, and the highest temperature is only 16 degrees, kid, aren't you afraid of rheumatism when you're old?

I'm going out in plush pants today!

"Xu Zhen? It's really you! ”

At this time, Zhou Ran had already walked over to him quickly, and when he saw that there was no one around him, he asked, "Why are you here in Tainan?" Aren't all the representatives of the shortlisted films arranged to go to the Taipei exhibition hall? ”

Xu Zhen greeted him with a smile and explained: "I didn't come with the group, I just happened to be filming here in Tainan." ”

"What about you? Why are you in Tainan too? ”

Zhou Ran smiled and said, "I'm from Tainan." ”

When Xu Zhen heard this, he immediately showed a surprised expression.

- Zhou Ran is actually from Taiwan?

I really didn't know before.

He is not familiar with Zhou Ran, and in his impression, the other party's focus has been on the mainland over the years, and there is no obvious accent, and he really hasn't thought about where he is from before.

And Zhou Ran seemed to understand Xu Zhen's expression, and a smug smile suddenly appeared on his face, and he raised his chin and said, "How is it, I speak Mandarin quite well?" ”

"I never use dubbing when making movies, I always use my own original sound."

When Xu Zhen heard this, he complimented him with some embarrassment: "Oh, it's amazing." ”

As he spoke, his eyes flickered a little, and he didn't make much comments.

Mandarin is really good, but the line skills still need to be improved......

"Hey, by the way, I haven't thanked you yet," Zhou Ran raised the drink cup in his hand, touched it with Xu Zhen, and said, "When "Wangcheng" was released before, thank you for your publicity. ”

Xu Zhen smiled: "You're welcome, the movie is really good." ”

As he spoke, he felt a little weak.

He remembered that he seemed to praise Lin Jia, the director, the plot, and the later stage, but he didn't praise Zhou Ran.

Really, if you praise him in that movie, it sounds a little ironic......

The two were chatting, and He Jiayan and Shi Yujie, who had just gone to buy water, came over.

He Jiayan saw Zhou Ran, raised her eyebrows, and immediately came forward to greet him enthusiastically, obviously having a good relationship.

With acquaintances on both sides as lubricants, the atmosphere suddenly relaxed, and it was no longer as restrained as it was just now.

The two groups of people chatted in the lounge for a while, He Jiayan went to the service desk to ask for a movie manual, lowered her head and flipped through it, and said to Zhou Ran: "Isn't your "Like Water" over there in Block B?" Why did you get to this viewing hall? ”

Zhou Ran subconsciously glanced at Xu Zhen next to him, and said without hesitation: "I'm coming to see "Embroidered Spring Knife". ”

"After all, it's a film released on the same day, knowing yourself and knowing your opponent, you can't be defeated in a hundred battles."

As he spoke, he looked at Xu Zhen with confidence and said with a smile: "How the box office on the first day is directly affected by the next film schedule, I always have to understand the strength of my competitors, so that I can have a bottom in my heart." ”

"What, you're not welcome?"

Xu Zhen turned his head to look at him, and when he heard that he actually said this kind of thing directly and generously, he felt that this was a refreshing person, so he smiled and said, "How come, welcome." ”

As he spoke, he rummaged through his pocket, pulled out a few additional tickets given to him by the organizer, and said, "You haven't bought a ticket yet, have you?" I'll ask you to read it, and I'll ask you to give me a lot of advice after reading it later. ”

Zhou Ran was not hypocritical, accepted the free ticket, and immediately pulled out a few movie tickets, and said with a smile: "Equivalent exchange, this is "Like Water Flowing Year". ”

Xu Zhen took the gift ticket and silently looked at the price on the ticket.

Not equivalent.

"Embroidered Spring Knife" is more expensive than "Like Water Flowing Year".

However, it's a free ticket anyway, so there's no need to care about these details.

"Hey, don't you see how it is," Zhou Ran raised his eyebrows and said, "Next, you go to watch "Like Water Flowing Year", I will watch "Embroidered Spring Knife", and we will meet again to communicate after a while, how about it?" ”

As he spoke, he looked at Xu Zhen and said, "Anyway, I've already seen my own movie, why don't you take a look at the other party?" ”

Hearing this, Xu Zhen obviously hesitated.

Zhou Ran said something reasonable, knowing himself and knowing his opponent, and knowing the bottom of his heart.

But I just watched the trailer of "Like Water" in the lounge, and to tell the truth, Xu Zhen is really not very interested in this kind of love story adapted from youth and trauma literature......

And He Jiayan is much more straightforward than Xu Zhen, and directly said this sentence: "Who wants to watch a movie like you." ”

"Wow, look at this slogan, 'the most anticipated youth tearjerker movie of the year', hehe."

Zhou Ran: "......"

His high fighting spirit just now seemed to have been poured a basin of cold water by He Jiayan, and he couldn't help but say angrily: "Hey, do you want to jump to conclusions so easily?" ”

"Let me tell you, my movie is really, super touching!"

"It's not that I'm boasting, I acted it myself, I couldn't cry after watching it!"

He Jiayan pursed her lips and said, "Then what if I don't cry after reading it?" ”

Zhou Ran turned his head and glanced at Xu Zhen and the others, and said, "In this way, let's make a bet, if the three of you don't cry after reading it, I will invite you to a big dinner today!" Go anywhere! ”

"If you cry, you will forward the propaganda of "The Year of Water" to me one by one!"

When He Jiayan heard this, she immediately agreed, her eyes were shining, and she felt that this meal had been taken into her pocket.

And when Xu Zhen heard this gamble, he couldn't help laughing.

Zhou Ran asked puzzledly, "What are you laughing at?" ”

Xu Zhen pursed his lips and said, "I'm sorry, it's the first time I've heard someone bet on this......"

"It's not something to be proud of when movies can make people cry, right?"

As he spoke, he handed the movie ticket for "Embroidered Spring Knife" in his hand to Zhou Ran, and said, "In this way, you go to watch "Embroidered Spring Knife", and we go to watch "Like Water Flowing Year", no problem." ”

"But do you dare to make a bet with me too?"

Zhou Ran took the movie ticket from Xu Zhen's hand and asked, "What bet?" ”

Xu Zhen said: "If you don't cry after watching "Embroidered Spring Knife", I will invite you today." ”

"If you cry......

As he spoke, he raised his head and smiled: "Could you please also forward a promotion for "Embroidered Spring Knife"?" ”

When Zhou Ran heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

He looked at the movie ticket in his hand and couldn't help but confirm: ""Embroidered Spring Knife"...... It's a martial arts movie, right? ”

Xu Zhen nodded and said, "Yes, martial arts films." ”

Zhou Ran said: "A romance film dressed in martial arts? ”

Xu Zhen shook his head and said, "No, it's just a pure martial arts film." ”

Zhou Ran's face was full of doubts, and he asked: "Why do I cry in a pure martial arts film?" ”

Xu Zhen looked at him quietly and said with a smile: "What does it have to do with whether you cry or not?" ”

Zhou Ran: ???

……

In the end, the two sides reached an agreement: they would watch each other's movies and come out to evaluate each other after two hours.

Since "Embroidered Spring Knife" is an original script, there is no way to know what it is about, Zhou Ran searched for a long time with his mobile phone, but there was no information on the Internet, so he had to give up.

At this time, the agent who accompanied him couldn't help but complain a little, and said, "How can you make this kind of bet with someone?" ”

"How is "Embroidered Spring Knife" also a competitor, how can you forward its publicity?"

Zhou Ran pursed his lips and said, "Okay, it's not an important matter. ”

"What if you really help him make a publicity? Didn't he also help promote "Wangcheng" before, so he should return his personal favor. ”

The agent frowned and said, "He didn't promote "Wangcheng" against you. ”

Zhou Ran said: "Yes, although it is not for me, I am also a beneficiary." ”

"I know that "Embroidered Spring Knife" and "Like Water" were released on the same day, but there are 24 hours a day and seven or eight scheduled films, and people who really like me will not go to see him and not watch me just because I helped him forward a promotion."

"The market is so big, and it's not like it's not a big deal, you live and die, so what if you should make a friend?"

He saw that the agent was still arguing, and said impatiently: "Oh, don't say it." ”

"That's it, don't teach me to do things."

Broker: "......"

Okay, what can I say?

……

At the same time, Xu Zhen, He Jiayan and Shi Yujie also walked into the screening hall of "Like a Year of Water" with popcorn, waiting for the movie to open.

Since today is the first day of the screening, the enthusiasm of movie fans is very high, and the screening hall is almost full, and even the corners are full of people.

However, what they got was a gift ticket from Zhou Ran, and the position was very superior.

"Oh oh oh war song up!"

"The battle song is here, and it really deserves to be Zhou Ran!"

The movie had just begun, and before a person had even appeared, there was a commotion of excitement all around.

- The background music begins.
